Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Your Woodworking Skills with BeaverCraft Leather Compound Sharpening Stropping by Jeffrey Mosqueda

Revainrating 3 out of 5

50/50 Nothing fancy here

I bought this to replace my hanging strap in Chicago with something I could just sit on my countertop. The idea is great and the leather is fine, but the problem is the wooden spatula. One side is flat and works great. On the other side is an arch that runs right down the middle, making it almost unusable. I might be able to cut my hair with an X pattern, but I don't want to risk ruining my razor. Therefore 50/50 as only one side is safe to use. These guys need to start using different blade materials like plastic, glass, aluminum etc. Something that doesn't warp or curl like wood. Wood is too susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations, which is exactly what a bathroom environment will look like. This is one of the advantages of hanging straps. You don't have this problem. So my advice is to look for lines that don't contain wood. Sharp Pebble sells 3" x 9" with plexiglass base. Alternatively, you can just buy a hanging strap and you're done.
